President Donald Trump attacks Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana ahead of Saturday’s GOP primary, urging voters to support Cassidy’s challengers. Multiple outlets report that Trump posts on Truth Social calling Cassidy a “disloyal disaster” and using additional insults, including “sleazebag,” while describing Cassidy as harmful to Louisiana. The criticism comes as the Louisiana primary election is framed as high stakes, with Cassidy facing primary challenges from within his party. Newsweek reports Cassidy is polling in third place in the Republican primary race. Mother Jones adds context on Cassidy’s role in Trump’s impeachment proceedings, noting Cassidy was among GOP senators who voted to convict Trump in his impeachment trial after the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack. Across the coverage, Trump’s messaging focuses on personal condemnation and an effort to steer Republican voters away from the incumbent. The outlets present the dispute as part of a broader intra-party contest in Louisiana leading up to election day.
